Smuggler's Notch Ice, 1-2 March 2003
Aimless

That's going to Brian, there, suspended between large chunks of tree, leading some unnamed ice, and doing a capital job of it, if I may be allowed to say so.

This is just about... check that: this is the only shot of Brian climbing the whole trip. There are reasons for this. The main reason is that Brian and I left our packs clipped to that blue sling on that tree trunk there, pretty much the whole day. And my camera was in my pack. And there were other things in our packs, most notably a reasonable amount of additional hardware (not currently attached to Brian's harness, or my own) and all of our food and water.

Welcome to the Brain Trust. We'll be here through Sunday afternoon. Please, try the fish.
